Hi MVP_88,
As
FROM_UNIXTIME is a function of MySQL, there's no such a built-in function in SQL server. To convert the that column to DATETIME 103 in SQL server, you can reference the below.
DECLARE @end_tyd INT;
SET @end_tyd=1421629632
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),DATEADD(SECOND,@end_tyd,'1970-01-01'), 103) AS DATE
/* OUTPUT
DATE
19/01/2015
--In your case
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),DATEADD(SECOND,end_tyd,'1970-01-01'), 103) AS DATE FROM yourTable
If you have any question, feel free to let me know.
